"Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World" is a long weekend holiday that coincides with Memorial Day in the United States, and Disney Studios has high hopes for the film's box office prospects, which will be released simultaneously in more than 4,300 theaters in North America starting May 25, a record 110 more theaters than when "Spider-Man 3" premiered earlier this month.

Before the premiere, a series of good news broke out one after another, such as Johnny Depp's claim that the film would marry his girlfriend Vanessa after the box office hit, some Japanese fans were so excited that they fainted because they saw Johnny Depp come to Tokyo to promote, and North American film critics claimed that Johnny Depp's acting skills on Captain Jack Sparrow have been superb, etc.

Compared with the previous two films, although Matthew and Keira Knightley were also involved in a series of promotional announcements before the release, Disney Studios' promotional plan was entirely dominated by Johnny Depp and Captain Jack Sparrow.

The reason is simple, before the release of the film, Disney Studios injected another shot of stimulant into pirate fans around the world, the famous producer Jerry Bruckheimer is planning "Pirates of the Caribbean 4", and Johnny Depp has agreed to continue to play Captain Jack Sparrow.

Matthew and Keira Knightley's characters are not explained, but it is clear to the discerning that Will Turner and Elizabeth Taylor will retire from the world of Pirates of the Caribbean.

On the day of the premiere, Disneyland California was crowded, but these were not tourists, but "pirate fans" who came to line up early in the morning for the premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World", following the "pirate" craze that set off the world in the first two films, Matthew, Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley gathered at Disneyland again.

The premiere was a huge event, with thousands of fans coming to occupy the space at 6 a.m., and some even lined up in front of Disneyland the night before to meet Johnny Depp and Matthew, many of whom dressed up as pirates and held toy knives to celebrate the release of the new movie.

Screams continued to be heard on both sides of the long red carpet, of course, the highest decibel screams must belong to the two leading actors Johnny Depp and Matthew, the appearance of the two made the fans crazy in the audience, Disney also arranged a drum band and acrobatic performances, the atmosphere was extremely enthusiastic, and even many Disney classics such as "Mickey Mouse" and "Donald Duck" also changed into pirate costumes to help the fun.

Walt Disney is negotiating a new Disneyland across the Pacific Ocean, and with "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World" successfully passing trials and landing in theaters across the ocean in mid-June, Disney Studios has specially added an oriental element to the premiere.

On the huge billboard erected on the red carpet, the Chinese title of "Pirates of the Caribbean III" was actually written, making Chinese the only non-English text that appeared at the premiere, and the pillars of the billboard also painted Double Dragon.

In addition, the red carpet also ushered in the famous movie star Xiao Ma Ge and basketball star Da Ji who killed everyone in seconds based on his height alone.

Matthew took Alexandra D'Addario by his arm and walked the red carpet right behind the little pony couple, and when he passed through the interview area, he greeted him with a charming smile, and Matthew returned a warm smile to him.

Of course, that's all there is to it.

During the filming, he saw Brother Xiao Ma more than once on the set, but he never planned to run over to talk to Brother Xiao Ma about Chinese, first, his predecessor did not learn Chinese, and second, Brother Xiaoma's Mandarin did not seem to be very good, and he usually spoke Cantonese.

As for making friends, I haven't even thought about it.

Indeed, like many people who like to watch movies over there, he also likes Little Pony, but he prefers Nicolas Cage to Little Pony, and this kind of former fans' love for movie stars has little to do with his current job.

Frankly speaking, actors are divided into circles, just like Hollywood has the Australian Gang, the British Gang, and the Spanish Gang, and Matthew can't break into the circle where Little Pony is.

Of course, he didn't mean to get in.

After a brief interview, Matthew walked into the theater and walked down the long aisle to the VIP waiting room, when Alexandra Daddario suddenly said, "Disney doesn't take you very seriously? ”

Matthew had known this for a long time, and said as he walked, "It's normal, Disney Pictures doesn't need me to star in Pirates of the Caribbean 4." ”

In fact, it's not just publicity, he has seen the completed demo from Gore Verbinski before, Jerry Bruckheimer also greeted him early, Will Turner's role in this film is a little less than the second part, and there is nothing particularly outstanding, and the film is also transitioning from the previous dual-core to the single-core with Jack Sparrow as the core.

In other words, in addition to Elizabeth Swan, who was on the sidelines in the second part, Will Turner also began to step aside.

Disney Studios' goal is obvious, it wants to establish the core position of Captain Jack Sparrow completely, and future sequels will only be filmed and produced around the captain.

From the studio's point of view, this is normal, and Matthew doesn't say much, after all, he doesn't have the authority to dictate post-production, and the series has earned him a lot of money.

Of course, his promotion of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World" is also a job that has been done within his part, not as laborious as "Transformers".

"Hi Matthew! Hi Anna. ”

Helen Herman's voice greeting came from the opposite side, and Alexandra Daddario smiled and greeted her agent as well.

Matthew first looked at Helen Herman, then at the bespectacled brown-haired middle-aged man next to her.

Helen Herman gave Alexandra D'Addario a look, and Alexandra D'Addario immediately understood and took the initiative to say, "I'm going to the bathroom." ”

She quickly left the place.

Helen Herman gave an introduction for both sides, "Andrew, this is Matthew. Matthew, this is Andrew Stanton. ”

Matthew immediately reached out to shake hands with the other party, "You're Nemo's father." It's an honor to meet you. ”

"You're so kind, Matthew. Andrew Stanton spoke slowly, "I've always wanted to get to know you, but I didn't get a chance. ”

He regretted, "Some time ago, Helen said that you would go to the celebration reception between Disney and Pixar, but I couldn't find you, and I've been busy lately, so I didn't see you until today. ”

Matthew explained simply, "I have to cooperate with Disney Studios' promotional plan, so I can only miss the reception. He remembered Helen Herman's film adaptation of "Princess Mars", and simply asked, "Andrew, are you looking for me?"

Andrew Stanton said with a smile, "I was very touched by what you said about Megatron at the Transformers briefing two days ago. He was obviously not joking, "I'm presiding over the script writing of "Toy Story 3", and your words about saying goodbye to people and toys are sobering, and I want "Toy Story 3" to learn from it appropriately, is that okay?"

Hearing this, Matthew felt a little embarrassed in his heart, but he was thick-skinned enough not to show it at all, and said, "Of course, I like Pixar Studio's cartoons very much." ”

This kind of thing, even if the other party doesn't say hello, just use it, and in a place like Hollywood, no one will say anything.

"I say thank you to Pixar Studios. Andrew Stanton said this with a smile, and then changed the subject, he looked at Helen Herman, and said, "Helen just said that she told you ......"

He looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he lowered his voice and said, "Tell you about my adaptation of "Princess Mars", are you interested?"

Matthew didn't answer him, but said, "I've been taking time to read the original book recently, but I'm too busy with work to finish "Princess Mars" yet. ”

Andrew Stanton nodded and said, "There's no rush for this, I'm adapting the script." ”

Hearing him say that he is working on two scripts at the same time, Matthew is not surprised at all, behind a well-known screenwriter, there are often more small screenwriters serving him, as long as he controls the general direction.

Matthew thought for a moment and said, "The name 'Princess of Mars' isn't good? It sounds like a women's movie." ”

Speaking of which, he thought about it again, the inexplicably familiar plot, like a junior YY at a certain point, if the name is not good, the male frequency has a female frequency name, and eighty percent of them will hit the street.

"This will change later. Andrew Stanton was sincere, "Matthew, I intend to make these three Mars into a true intergalactic epic trilogy. ”

The moment he spoke, his whole person's momentum changed, and he had an indescribable confidence, "I have made a preliminary plan, and the budget for the first production is not less than 200 million US dollars!"

"$200 million?" Matthew was intrigued, arguably the top production in Hollywood, and asked, "When are you going to start this project?"

Andrew Stanton whispered, "I'm currently working on an animated feature film from Pixar Studios, and once I'm done with this animated feature, I'm going to start working on the Mars trilogy. He looked at Matthew and said sincerely, "Matthew, this is a sci-fi action movie, the male protagonist is a very powerful fighter, and no one is more suitable for this role than you." ”

Matthew thought about it for a moment and said, "After you've finished the script, can you give me a copy first?" I'll read the script and I'll give you an answer." ”

"No problem. Andrew Stanton laughed, "I'll keep in touch with Helen." ”
